AddRotationAt Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Modifies the current transformation matrix (CTM) applying a counterclockwise rotation by a required angle around a specified point, in other words the current coordinate system axes are rotated by this angle counterclockwise. The rotation angle needs to be defined within the interval from 0 to 360. The rotation's center point needs to be expressed in the current units defined in the PDF document, related to the actual page. The applied rotation affects all subsequent drawing operations on the currently selected page of the loaded PDF document.
The CTM parameter is part of the graphics state parameters. These parameters are initialized to their default values at the beginning of each page (see PDF Reference, Section "Graphics State").
You can use the GdPicturePDF.GetMeasurementUnit method to determine the currently defined units and you can use the GdPicturePDF.SetMeasurementUnit method to reset the units according to your preference.

Parameters
- Angle
- The rotation angle, in degrees, determining the counterclockwise rotation. It must be an integer value from 0 to 360, otherwise the method will fail.
- AtX
- The horizontal (X) coordinate of the rotation's center point, expressed in the current units specified by the SetMeasurementUnit method, related to the currently selected page.
- AtY
- The vertical (Y) coordinate of the rotation's center point, expressed in the current units specified by the SetMeasurementUnit method, related to the currently selected page.
Return Value
A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.
We strongly recommend always checking this status first.
